Photonstophotos measured the dynamic range of two new cameras: The Panasonic S1R and the Phase One IQ4 using the new 150 megapixel Sony sensor.
The new Panasonic holds up well with the Sony. Overall the Sony is still ahead with a major advantage in the 100-400 ISO range.
The $50,000 Phase One IQ4 uses the new Sony 150 MP sensor. And as expected it gives you over 1 stop DR performance advantage.
Samyang published this new teaser for the launch of four new lenses. My uess is that the last lens might be a new E-mount lens. Maybe something within the 35-50mm range…

David Oastler tested the new A64000 to see if it had some overheating issue. Luckely he encountered no issues at all.
Photogaphyblog tested the A6400 and the conclusion is rather mixed feeling:
Ultimately, the new Sony Alpha A6400 is a frustrating camera – outstanding in some aspects, most notably the AF system, good in others, but mediocre in some key areas by today’s high standards. Overall, it’s still a good bet, especially if you shoot a lot of moving subjects, but it also could potentially have been so much better…

Androidlad leaked those specs of the new Sony 100 meapixel IMX55CQR sensor. I have no info yet if this is accurate or not. The specs are stunning:
2.91um pixel architecture, 100MP @ 10fps, 6K video using 12bit ADC with on-chip binning/line-skipping. 4K RGB 4:4:4 video with on-chip colour-aware binning.
This 12288 x 8192 100MP sensor employs a unique, CFA-based column-parallel ADC design:
The sensor is said to perform better than A7 III in terms of dynamic range, sensitivity (QE) and readout speed.
Here is the 4K RGB 4:4:4 readout mode:
This sensor will be available for third party manufacturers too. Sony itself may used an improved version of this sensor in their future A9r or A7rIV cameras…
